Mayor Mcclure Of Pierre, now in
Washington in the interest Of the Dawes
bill, expresses the most sanguine hopes
OF its earlv passage. While we unite
with the mayor in the fond hope, we
can only accept this announcement in
proof of his earnest desire for such a
consummation, as past experiences in
this direction serve to lessen confidence.
and leave hope a drug on the market.
Recent opposition on the part Of New
England Indian admirers has given to
hope in this direction a forlorn char.
acter, and while it is pleasing to indulge
in the hope of the passage of this inl-
portant measure, the chances favorable
to its realization may now be said to be
extremely obscure.

The New York Mining and Engineer
ing Journal still persists in misleading
many Of the prominent tin mines of
Custer and Lawrence counties in Pen
nington county. Deadwood papers
have repeatedly called the attention OF
this journal to the injustice Of removing
these properties without consent, but the
practice has been continued until it has
resulted in the loss to this county Of the
Tin Reef, which she premeditatedly
purloined on New Years day. and con-
tributed the same to swell the prestige
OF prominently prosperous Penning-
ton. If III New York contemporary
desires to evade future trouble in the
way of legal complications she may only
escape the same by the prompt return
of the property.

The news Of the death Of Mrs. NJ. p.
Phillips of Hot Springs, which did not
reach US until after the CHRONICLE had
gone to press last week, was received
by her friends in this place with a de-
gree Of sadness rarely resulting from
the announcement Of the death Of 4
mere acquaintance. Mrs. Philips was
q visitor in Custer prior to her marriage,
and during the bricfinterval Of her visi,
made many friends, who, remembering
her amiable qualities, are deeply panied
at her untimely demise. Especially sor-
rowful does the news fall upon us, having
enjoyed the most friendly relations with
the family from boyhood. The CHRoN-
ICLE unites with this community in the
expression of earnest sympathy for the
bereaved husband and relatives OF the
deceased.

Why Men Have Married.
From q London Exchange.


A well-educated and intelligent
gentleman, on being asked how he
came to select the young woman who
eventually became his wife, and whom
he first met in q well-known drapery
establishment, replied: because I
noticed how nimbly, yet gracefully
she mounted g. ladder"
We once heard of ayoung man who
remarked that he had chosen nis wife
AN amiable, accomplished girl and g.
splendid vocalist-"Just because she
had eaten such g. hearty dinner at g.
picnic"
But having now glanced at the
causes of some in their selection, it
might not be out ofplace to give thefol-
lowing anecdots, for the truth of which
we can vouch, as showing, on the
other hand, how just as slight rea-
sons may influence others to reject in
tended partners. In this particular
instance an exceedingly slight strain
in the knot of affection completely
severed it, and at the same time gave
to our metropolis one of those insti-
buttons of which Englishmen are just
ly so proud, and which has exchanged
the CHASTITY pallor of suffering and dis
ease for the rudy hue of health on
the cheeks of thousands Of our coun-
trymen and women.
A wealthy publisher had g. maid
servant whom he had promised to
marry, and preparations were being
made for the festivities consequent on
the approaching ceremony. In fight
ing life's rough battles for many
years, however, the old man had &C
quired such penurious and grasping
disposition that he was considered
by his neighbors to be displaying an
unwonted amount of liberality, when,
in honor of his Forthcoming marriage,
he one day gave orders for g. limited
portion of the pavement in front of
his residence to be repaired, at the
same time marking these limits with
his own hand. His intended wife
happening to pass during the time the
workmen were employed, saw patch
which they had left untouched, and
which was really beyond the pre-
scribed limits of her future husbands
property, although she was not aware
of it. The woman drew the mans at
tention to the patch in question,
when they informed her that they
had not been directed to repair that
spot, but being desired to do so by the
servant, they sat to work and fin
ished it, which fact greatly enraged
her master when on his return he per-
ceived the liberty she had taken dur
ing his absence and without consult
ing him. Indeed, 80 angry was he,
that he at once withdrew his promise
of marriage and determined to ex-
pend the whole of his vast wealth on
hospitals and other philanthropic in

English and American Cars.
From London Life.

There are some objections, no
doubt, to the adoption of the Ameri.
can railway system in this country:
In America railway carriages are all
of one class, 80 that a passenger can
walk from end to end of the train and
choose his seat in any part OF it. But
some modification of this plan might
be adopted. ALI carriages OF one
class, for example. might be communi-
eating, or at the worst, B. gangway
might be constructed from end to end
of each individual carriage. 1t is true
that American cars, having each only
one exit, do not empty themselves as
quickly as English carriages. On the
other hand, there is no mad rushing
about after seats as an American
train is about to start; the passen-
gers get on board, as they call it, any
where, and find their places after the
train has started. And there is this
further advantage attaching to the
American system, that no cars are
overcrowded while others are empty;
the passengers distribute themselves
evenly along the whole train.

like calcined bone. A chemical and

like calcined bone. A chemical and
microscopical examination showed
that the disease was an extraordln-
airy case of fragiites ossum. The
brlUtleness was caused by the undue
proportion OF earthly matter, and the
quantity was so great IN this case
that the bone was in some places but
little more than dust held together by
an oleaglnous fluid. The bones OF the
entire body were found to be affected.
In order to stiffen the spine and pro-
ject the RIBS, chain shirt was put on
the body. This consisted OF g. tight
fitting network of wire, and st1tfened
the body so that it was the same as
if it was all incased in solid bone.
Internal remedies were given to
counterfeit the crumbling tendency
of the bones and the removal OF us
sue from the body. A good result toll
lowed, and at the end OF two months
an examination showed q perceptl0le
hardening of the bones. Fortunately
the skull was least affected. The
fractures united rapidly IN the legs
and arms, and the plaster was taken
off at the expiration of three months.
In order that there might be no strain
upon the bones, DR.. Willets constructed
an ingenious piece Of mechanism OF
steel bands. These were fitted tightly
to the legs and arms lengthwise on
both sides, with g. movable attach
menu at the knees to admit OF natur-
al motion. The bands were very
stiff, though elastic, and took all the
strain of the body from the bones. The
patient could stand and the harness
sustained the weight, and with this
relief there is g. possibility that the
bones may be restored to their nor
NAL condition. 1t is estimated that
two years will be consumed, at least,
in doing this, and it may be that the
patient will never get well.
Hughes attributes his condition to
eating the vegetable food on the ISL
and where he was cast ashore. He
says that he noticed that the bones
OF the birds he caught crumbled in his
fingers without being subjected to
heat, and broke easily when twisted.
DR.. WilIets has no confidence in this
Idea, but thinks the disease was
caused by the repeated attacks
of scurvy which Hughes had in his
seafaring life. Scurvy is known to
render the bones brittle in those who
have the disease. The name of the
plant Hughes ate is not known.

A Rem arkable Case.
From the London Lancet.

A case of somewhat remarkable char
acter is at the present time in the Lon
don Temperance Hospital, under the
care of DIR. r. j. Lee. A girl, aged Is,
bad the last molar tooth in the lower
jaw on the right side removed about six
weeks ago. No anasthetic was admin
istered. She was in perfect health
at the time. Half an hour after
the operation she began to
yawn, and has continued to do so
since. One yawn succeeded another
without interruption, and with an in
terval of two or three seconds. Galvan-
ism has been tried without effect, and
other remedies previous to admission to
the hospital. Three days afterward the
yawning changed to sneezing, and re-
Gently she has suffered from constant
and rapidly succeeding fits of sneezing,
each of which paroxysms appear to be-
gin with yawn. She seems to have no
power of controlling herself, or only to a
very slight extent; and ifshe attempts to
do so the next sneeze is more violent.

An Odd Royal Favor.

went to see the Oldest of his subjects
and found him hale and still hearty
veteran of 100, comfortably seated IN
an old arm chair, enjoying his lnsep-
arabic companion-a short pipe. On
the approach of the King he rose, and
advanced q few steps, but the King
made him sit down and conversed
quite freely with him, the pipe, how
ever, not leaving the old mans lips a.
minute. On parting, the King asked
him if he had any wish that he could

reply, 81 thank you; L have every
